thanks burt
awesome !
I sail for 8 years in SL and sailed almost every boat in SL. The Shields is outstanding.
An amazing free boat and much, much better than some expensive ones....
Thank you Burt, for offering this great boat for free !!
Best free boat by a land slide and....
...better than many of the pay boats.
Sails well, photo-realistic, customize!
TY!
Best free boat in SL!
I love it! Awesome for new sailors as well as experienced sailors, very nicely made and great baking too. You can even join one of the Shields races inworld. Highly recommended if you want to have fun, realistic sailing.
A beautiful boat!
I just grabbed this today, thinking it would be good for photos...and it is...but it's so much more. Simple to operate, and beautiful to look at. You've done such a wonderful job with this craft.
awesome
I have tested it one time sailed from brook hill gate sim to hollywood airport sim and on the way i did read notecard so i did learn when sailing in speed 6,20 m/s or something. and when i had sail back i did configure it i did set sail to half transparent to se better next time. and every simvrossing went smooth,did not crash a single time im so happy. before next sail i shall put shipname on that texture we get with the ship awesome again. love it and i recomend this ship to start sail to se you it is something for you before buy some expensive ship.
